Description
This book-length study explores the complex relationship between Heidegger and Hölderlin, two influential thinkers whose ideas are deeply connected to themes of homecoming and homeland. Charles Bambach examines how Heidegger's work grappled with the tension between his political commitments during National Socialism and his ideal of poetic dwelling.
Through a close reading of Heidegger's interpretation of Hölderlin, Bambach uncovers an ethical dimension that underlies much of Heidegger's thought. The book sheds new light on Heidegger's turn towards language, art, and poetizing as a way of thinking through the poet's relevance in a time of great upheaval.
By examining the intersection of Heidegger's philosophy with Hölderlin's poetry, Bambach offers a nuanced understanding of one of the most important intellectual debates of the 20th century. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of both thinkers and their ideas.
